Wasaga Beach Provincial Park (WBPP) and Friends of Nancy Island are pleased to announce the return of the Piping Plover; an endangered shorebird who has returned to the shores of WBPP after an extended hiatus. Gearing up for a busy season, we are currently seeking eager volunteers who will join our Piping Plover Guardian Family for the bird’s critical breeding season (June & July).

Responsibilities include: • Monitoring the birds while they are nesting and recording important behaviours • Monitoring newly hatch Piping Plover chicks and recording important behaviours • Sharing updates with the public • Showing the public the Piping Plovers through spotting scopes • Providing feedback and updates to the Piping Plover Coordinator

You don’t have to be an avid birder to volunteer as training is provided! Training is tentatively scheduled for the end of May.
